It's not often that sides from the very bottom of the Football League pyramid (and beyond) grapple with the titans of the Premier League . The culture clash of the top flight's slick, multi-million pound teams and the muddy, hardy heroes of the lower-leagues throws up some truly iconic moments - romantic narratives to capture the hearts and minds of fans the world over.

It also throws up some hilariously tinpot images - images we now want to celebrate in all their ramshackle glory.

When we say "tinpot", we don't mean to be pejorative. These pictures are what make the FA Cup so special - they embody the charming, happy-go-lucky spirit of what is probably the world's greatest cup competition. Probably.

Likewise, it's not just lower-league fans who are prone to taking the odd tinpot snap. Without further ado, behold our very favourite photos from today's action - pictures which can bring joy to us all.
